1) My site was defaulting to the xampp page. To get to my website I had to use the /mysite after my IP address. To fix this, I changed the "httpd" config file's Document Root to point to C:/xampp/htdocs/mysite instead of just C:/xampp/htdocsHowever, by doing this, I now cannot access the xampp page. How can I make mysite the default while still having access to xampp?

2) How can I restrict access to the phpmyadmin page? I've tried editing "httpd" to deny all and allow my server's IP only but this had to effect. I used the same logic on the "httpd-xampp" file within the extra folder but then I couldn't access phpmyadmin at all. The code I used was as follows:

AllowOverride AuthConfig (I also tried All instead of AuthConfig)Order deny,allowDeny from allAllow from "my ip address" (without the quotes) (I also tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 but my server was still blocked in each case).

Each time, I receive the following error: AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/xampp/phpmyadmin/

Issue # 1 has been solved but #2 is proving to be very difficult. Any help would be much appreciated...thank you.

first: I have separated your posts from then original topic, because of the "one thread per unique user and issue rule".This makes solving and searching issues a little bit easier.

Thats not the recommend way, exactly for the issue that the XAMPP Administration page is no longer accessible.

Create VHosts, one for XAMPP, another (or some more) for your application.

You don't need to. The new XAMPP security concept already covers phpmyadmin so you can only access it from localhost.

Thank you for your help. I'll need some further clarification on the phpmyadmin piece however.

I am running xampp version 1.8.1 which from what I can tell is the latest version yet I am able to access my server's phpmyadmin website from any PC on my domain. I would like to restrict this to just my server. What exactly is the new XAMPP security concept that you are referring to?

All domain PCs and the server are on 192.168.61.XXX. Is this the reason the phpmyadmin site is accessible from any PC on my domain? If that is the case, it's good to know access is limited to domain PCs, but having it further limited to just the server and maybe a designated PC would be ideal.
